In China, writing brushes, ink sticks, paper and ink tones are called the Four Treasures of Study (文房四宝). Among the high-quality treasures, the writing brush produced in Huzhou,the ink stick produced in Huizhou, the xuan paper made in Xuancheng and the ink stone made in Duanxi are the best-known.
The writing brushes can be used to draw the pictures on painted potteries (陶器). They are mainly made of the hair of animals. Those made of wool are called yanghao and those made of the weasel's (鼬) tai（l 尾巴） hair are called langhao. Their artistic effects ( 艺术效应) in writing and painting cannot be copied by any other pens.
The ink stick is the pigment ( 颜 料 ) used in writing and painting. The ink stick produced in Huizhou is of high quality（质量）.A story goes like this: Two famous skilled men Xi Chao and his son produced a kind of high-quality ink stick. As a result,the Emperor Li Yu in the Southern Tang Dynasty agreed to give them the family name"Li". From then on, the fame （名声）of the Li Ink Stick was widespread. In the Song Dynasty, its producing area was changed into Huizhou, and it was then called the Hui Ink Stick.
Paper is among the four great inventions in ancient China.The famous xuan paper appeared in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.In Xuanzhou, Anhui Province where the xuan paper is produced, it's said that Cai Lun's pupil Kong Dan took the job of producing paper but failed to make perfect white paper. Later he happened to see the ebony (黑檀) in the rivers. It was wet with the
water and turned white. Then he used the bark( 树 皮 ) to produce the world-famous xuan paper.
The ink stone was already very popular in the Han Dynasty.The Ming and Qing Dynasties saw the appearance of the Four Famous Ink Stones---Duan Ink Stone, She Ink Stone, Tao Ink Stone and Chengni Ink Stone. They can not only be used in writing and painting but also for admiration.
